After trying them all, I can confidently say that Carmex is the most satisfactory for me. I've been using and repurchasing Carmex for years, though I've lost count of how many tubes I've gone through. The key factors I look for in a lip balm are: melts well with body temperature, doesn't feel greasy, provides sufficient moisture, doesn't make me look overly shiny, has no sticky residue, and has good lasting power. Carmex checks all those boxes. It melts nicely, doesn't feel heavy, keeps my lips well-hydrated without looking like I've just eaten fried food (the oil content is just right), has no stickiness, and lasts a good while. On top of that, it's affordable. In the winter, I like to apply it before bed and when I wake up, the dead skin on my lips just wipes off easily with a wet wipe. I don't need any separate lip masks or sleeping packs when I have Carmex. The scent may be divisive, but I don't find it bothersome at all - in fact, I've grown to quite like the cherry fragrance. It has a nice sweet aroma. Unfortunately, Carmex isn't officially imported to Korea, but there are many fragrance variations available, and they even have a medicated version with SPF (if you're willing to order it online). I'm not being sponsored by Carmex or anything, I just genuinely love this product and wish they would sponsor me as I'm such a big fan of Carmex!
ConsIf more fragrance varieties or unscented versions were imported to Korea, it would be easier for me to recommend Carmex to more people. Most tend to dislike it because of the scent.
TipJust give it a try!

When my lips were chapped, it helped them recover well.
ConsIt's a bit disappointing to use at night as it leaves a sticky residue that requires exfoliating. It has a slightly thick and heavy texture.

I think I've used at least 10 of these. Buying them in a 3-pack is more cost-effective than buying them individually. 1. Glide The glide is amazing. It applies like butter, but it doesn't feel greasy. It has a subtle satin-smooth finish. 2. Moisture When my lips are cracked or peeling, applying this generously and leaving it on overnight instantly resolves the dryness. Also, if I apply it to my lips before bed, the flakiness is gone by the time I wake up. A good lip scrub in the shower really makes my lips feel brand new. 3. Scent While the cherry scent is nice, I personally prefer unscented products. So I think this will have wide appeal, as the scent isn't too polarizing.
ConsThe only downside I've experienced with this product is that the cap is quite small, so if you don't close it properly, the lip balm can get on the cap.
TipPersonally, I find that the stick formulas tend to be more moisturizing than the tube versions. The tube ones can feel a bit oily, whereas the sticks can be applied generously without feeling too heavy or greasy.

ConsThe case is a bit too small? It would be nice if there were more color options for the lip balm. The cherry scent is not great.

The supple texture lasted for a good amount of time (even after drinking water several times). It has great value for the price.
ConsThe scent is too strong. Especially in the current situation, when wearing a mask right after applying the lip balm, the smell becomes too overpowering. One needs to be careful with the amount used. It should be applied by gently tapping, rather than swiping it on like regular lip balm, as too much can get applied that way.

It was applied well and after a while, even when applying a matte lip, it didn't get streaky and it functioned like a lip primer.
ConsWhen sleeping, I used just the Carmex stick type, and in daily life, I used the Carmex stick. It was good for a few weeks, but at some point, tiny bumps started forming along the edges of my lips...?!! I'm someone whose skin is sensitive but whose lips can handle just about anything...? I first stopped using Carmex and just applied Vaseline to my lips. At some point, it got better. Could it really have been because of the Carmex? I applied it again for a few days, and the same symptoms came back. It's a shame, but I've given it up....
TipI'll just use the Aritatoum Ginger Sugar Lip Mask when sleeping, and the Bioderma stick in daily life....

It doesn't feel overly greasy.
ConsAfter using this, my entire lips were covered in blisters. As you can see in the photo, the edges of my lips are red and bumpy, and the irritation has now spread to the surface of my lips. I just looked up reviews and found out it's because of the Carmex ingredient. These symptoms appeared just two days after using it. The weird thing is, I didn't have this reaction when I used the tube version, only when I switched to the stick form.
